Nigerian Army Court-Martials Two Generals

The authorities of the Nigerian Army have convened a Special Court Martial to try two senior officers of the service. The officers are, Maj. Gen. Ibrahim Sani and Maj. Gen. Patrick Falola.


It was gathered that because of the status of officers involved in the court martial, the convening order for the court was personally signed by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai.


The members of the court who were sworn in by the Judge Advocate, Col. Saeed Musa, were the Chief of Policy and Plan of the Nigerian Air Force, (President), AVM Iya Abdulahi, Rear Admiral Peter Agba, and Rear Admiral Edwin Enechukwu.


A look at the constitution of the court at the Army Headquarters, Garrison, at the Mogadishu Cantonment, Abuja, showed that no single Major General of the Nigerian Army was included as a member apart from the Judge Advocate whose responsibility “is to serve as a guide to the panel.”


A senior Army officer told Punch that the Air Force and Naval top shots were appointed as members of the high profile panel because it was a Special Court Martial.


Falola was the Commander, 68 Hospital, Lagos. Isah was the Chief of Army Transformation and Innovation Centre until the Army authorities decision to post them for jurisdiction.


The officers are being ‘accused of offences bordering on service discipline.’ After the swearing in of the officers of the court and the introduction of the counsel for the accused, the court adjourned sitting to May 9, 2016 to commence hearing into the case of Falola.


Shortly after the introduction of the members of the court, the two generals were asked if they had objection to the constitution of the panel to which they all answered in the negative.


A demand by the lead counsel for the prosecution, Lt. Col. Ukpe Ukpe, that the Judge Advocate should also put himself forward for the same procedure as was done by the members of the court was turned down in accordance with the stipulations of military laws.


President of the court, AVM Gbum assured that the trial would not be delayed in the interest of justice.

Amaechi and The Truth About Sanusi's Letter to Dr Jonathan

The office of the Minister of Transportation has reacted to reports in the media that tends to infer and/or suggest that immediate past governor of Rivers State and now Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi surreptitiously and clandestinely ‘leaked’ a letter written by former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor and now Emir of Kano, Sanusi Muhammad II to then President Goodluck Jonathan on the non-remittance of $49.8 billion from oil sale to the federation account. It stated categorically that “this is further from the truth with regards to what exactly transpired as regards Amaechi’s involvement in that Sanusi letter.”


A press statement from the office of the Minister of Transport reads: “To put the records straight, we want to categorically state that: A concerned and patriotic Nigerian who felt sufficiently troubled with what was happening then, gave a copy of the Sanusi letter to Amaechi in Amaechi’s capacity as the chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF). Like Amaechi, we should appreciate that concerned Nigerian’s patriotism.


“When Amaechi got the letter, he spoke with Sanusi who was still the CBN governor to confirm the authenticity of the letter. Sanusi confirmed to Amaechi that he wrote the letter. During their conversation, Amaechi made it abundantly clear to the then CBN governor that the bleeding of the nation had to be stopped, all non-remitted funds remitted and that he (Amaechi) was going to use the letter to do whatever is in the best interest of the nation and Nigerians, which was the stoppage of the non-remittance and the recovery of all the non-remitted funds from oil sale. The CBN Governor didn’t agree with Amaechi on the way forward.


“Considering that the letter was given to Amaechi as Chairman of the Governors’ Forum, he shared the letter with his colleague governors first, and with Senator Bukola Saraki (now Senate President), who before and around that period was doing some work or/and investigation around the oil sector in the senate.


“Around that period, a delegation from the United States of America government, from the offices of the Secretaries of State and Defense visited Amaechi in Port Harcourt to discuss the issue of oil theft in Nigeria. From their records, they gave Amaechi figures of billions of dollars (about $7 billion dollars, annually) that was being lost to oil theft in Nigeria. They were discussing the issue and figures of oil theft, and that was how the CBN governor’s letter to President Jonathan came up. In the presence of journalists covering the visit, Amaechi brought out the Sanusi letter to the visiting American delegation to buttress the point that Nigeria was losing far more money to non-remittance of proceeds from oil sale into the federation account, which everyone seemed to concur, was in itself, another form and another dimension to the issue of oil theft. “To suggest, infer or even extrapolate that Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi surreptitiously, clandestinely or underhandedly ‘leaked’ the CBN governor’s (Sanusi’s) letter is indeed most unfair, disrespectful and uncharitable to his person. Amaechi did what he did because he believed that the theft and corruption was just too much. He was propelled by his patriotic zeal to put Nigeria first, do what is in the best interest of the nation and Nigerians, and stop the bleeding and sucking of our collective resources by a tiny few. The mindboggling corruption revelations in the recent past, that is still ongoing clearly justifies and vindicates Amaechi’s stance on the issue and the actions he took. Faced with the same situation, under similar circumstances, Amaechi will not act differently. The good of Nigeria, putting the nation and Nigerians first, will always be his guiding principle.”
